About Diana
Diana Norton is a licensed clinical social worker with 35 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship concerns. She uses straightforward, compassionate listening to help people feel understood and to identify small, practical steps forward.
She blends client-centered conversations with goal-focused techniques. That means sessions begin with the client's current needs and priorities, then move toward concrete strategies to cope and change. Diana often uses methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused work to untangle negative thinking and build everyday routines that help.
Her background includes long-term experience with trauma, addiction, and caregiving stress. She also helps people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care related concerns, and life transitions tied to aging or illness. Diana pays attention to how past losses and patterns affect present relationships and daily functioning.
Diana draws on emotion-focused and dialectical behavior approaches when emotions feel overwhelming or relationships are stuck. Those methods help people name feelings, practice new ways of relating, and learn skills for managing strong emotions. Sessions are practical and paced to the person’s needs.
People find Diana’s style steady and direct. She works collaboratively to set goals, try different approaches, and adjust plans as needed. Her practice is based in Indiana and sessions are conducted in English.
How Diana’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own goals. In practice Diana uses open questions and reflective listening to help people clarify what matters most and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it breaks problems into manageable parts and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through mindfulness, distress tolerance, and effective communication.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Diana will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, try strategies that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. The focus is on practical tools that can be used between sessions as well as on understanding patterns that keep problems going.
